The '''Gorin''' ({{langx|ru|Горин}}), also known as "Goryun" and "Garin", is a river in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia. It is the 8th longest tributary of the Amur, with a length of {{convert|390|km|mi}}<ref name=WR/> and a drainage basin area of {{convert|22400|km2|mi2}}.<ref name=gvr>{{GVR|295236|Река Горин (Горюн, Гарин)}}</ref><ref name=WR>[https://water-rf.ru/%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%8B/1573/%D0%93%D1%83%D1%80 Water of Russia - Горин]</ref>
It flows across the Solnechny and Komsomolsky districts. Over 80% of the river basin is covered by forests. The Komsomolsk Nature Reserve, a protected area, is in its lower course, in the area of its confluence with the Amur.<ref name="GЕ"/>
==Course== The Gorin is a left tributary of the Amur. It has its sources in the northwestern slope of the Dayana Range, part of the Badzhal mountain system, about {{convert|100|km|mi}} to the west of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In its upper course the river flows roughly in an ENE direction within a narrow valley and towards its middle reaches the valley expands to a width between {{convert|2|km|mi}} and {{convert|3|km|mi}}. The lower course is very swampy and the river forms wide meanders. Finally it meets the Amur {{convert|546|km|mi}} from its mouth.<ref name=WR/><ref name="GЕ">Google Earth</ref>
The main tributaries of the Gorin are the {{convert|96|km|mi}} long Khurmuli on the right, and the {{convert|69|km|mi}} long Big Elga, the {{convert|69|km|mi}} long Khagdu, the {{convert|221|km|mi}} long Kharpi, and the {{convert|135|km|mi}} long Boktor (Volchor) on the left. There are 879 lakes in the river basin, the largest of which is Evoron, with an area of 194 square kilometres. The river freezes over between mid-November and the end of April or the beginning of May.<ref name=WR/>
